At its informal meeting on July 1, 1953, the Psychological Strategy Board noted the serious effects on world opinion produced by reports of “book-burning” in connection with USIS libraries, and agreed to recommend to the Department of State that such libraries be conducted on the same basic policy with respect to freedom of reading as are American libraries in this country.
